2. Study Room Lighting Scene + Stylized Paint over (0:20)
Based off concept art by Maike Plenzke, I wanted to recreate his room and lighting into 3D and add my own personal touches to it too. I added the dog to balance and help lead the viewer's eye to the entire image. I wanted to combine my traditional art skills and went over the piece with different brush textures and colours in post on photoshop. It was very fun to experiment with this and combine two things I enjoyed doing together in 3D, It makes me want to continue exploring this style further in the future.
I was responsible for the lighting, set dressing, shading, compositing.

For this Lighting Project I wanted to challenge myself by basing off the lighting from a renaissance painting. I enjoy trying to combine both traditional art and 3D art in a way that seems seamless, so this was fun to work on! I chose Auguste Toulmouche's painting "The Hesitant Fiancee".
